Syllabus

Guilty plea knowing, voluntary, and intelligent Crim.R. 11 totality of circumstances. A trial court does not violate Crim.R. 11, when under the totality of the circumstances, the defendant was aware he would be sentenced to a mandatory prison sentence. Where the trial court does not declare that the defendant will be sentenced to a mandatory prison term, but where it is nevertheless clear from the record and from the severity of the defendant's crimes that he or she is ineligible for community control sanctions, there is substantial compliance with Crim.R. 11.
